Bring on the Beasties.

Australian Nature Guides are trained wildlife spotters, using tracks, sounds and local knowledge to enhance the wildlife encounters of clients on their tours. To meet as many local species as possible, and to learn how they fit into the grand scheme of things, book a tour.

A River Runs Through it

Perennial Carnarvon Ck.

Carnarvon Creek is fed by artesian springs - some of which have never been known to cease flowing. For millions of years it has attracted, and sustained, a bewildering array of life, including humans from several different cultures.

Competition, Simon!

In 2016, Michelle Whitehouse joined Australian Nature Guides. Now a partner in the business, Michelle's broad knowledge from working around Australia has added a new dimension to their tours. Her passion for the Gorge is even beginning to rival Simon's!
